Heard that McGrorys has been sold - anyone know anything more?

Allegedly, a major player in the retail market.... :shock:

Likely they wont keep the name, pity, McGrory's is a Campbeltown institution.......remember the advert at the Pictures? ......."this is the place" hope they keep the staff also.

Of course as Hoots the Scoop said it is still just "alledgedly".

Mc Grory's is not sold ........yet

There is interest but until the signature is on the paper it still belongs to H. Hall.

It is a national that is interested but nothing is finalised so don't all you people who have not been in the place for years get your hopes up yet for a sales frenzy. They might be there 'till the next millenium.

I did notice today they have 20% off all camping and caravan stock but it is the end of the season.

I can say with a good degree of certainty that the radio station is taking over McGrory's and that Chick Young, Ermer the fermer and yourshelf are in charge of the sports department and all sports equipment including fishing gear is being dumped for to make room for a greater selection of fitba gear.

All these fashionable shoes have to be removed to make way for fitba boots with blades and the only thing in the haberdashery to be retained just in case a ref needs one is the thunderer whistle range. The electric department will only be selling floodlight bulbs and electronic scoreboards.

The old dansettes will be retrieved from the attic space for the one and only show.

A new entrance is to formed shaped like a tunnel and the staff have to run in and out.

The tartan shirts, the hats and the line dancing boots will be left for Margarets country and western show.

Ladies,

Lets keep this to the General Chit Chat - I have had a number of people complaining about irrelevant postings (which I may add Duke, you are merely pointing out).

Seems to be putting alot of people off posting... :shock:
